The Hebrew state is to rule on Wednesday on the implementation of the controversial plan, ” l‘extension »Unilateral Israeli sovereignty in the West Bank. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said ” that Israel would only move forward with the approval of the United States “, Its most important, most reliable and closest ally. The United States and Israel had presented a plan for the Middle East providing for the annexation of parts of the West Bank (in Palestine occupied by the Hebrew state since 1967) by Israel. This plan clearly violates a fundamental principle of international law that “The acquisition of territory by war or force is inadmissible”.
Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, behind this unfortunate initiative (concocted with the Israelis) took care to mention the possible creation of a Palestinian state. A simple glance at the cards shows that it is actually a decoy. Al Quds being recognized as the capital of Israel by Washington, leaving to the Palestinians only the small suburb, Abu Dis, as the place of official establishment of their institutions. As for the state proper, it would be more like an archipelago. In a message to the Christian Evangelist Summit a few days ago, the Israeli Prime Minister spoke of a “Realistic solution” or “Israel and Israel alone has control over all security matters on land and in the air in the West Bank. But, it is known, the Christian right which directs the American president indefectably supports the extreme Israeli right.
Unveiled at the end of January in Washington by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, the plan to annex the West Bank aims nothing more than to strip the Palestinians of their land. An established fact that could come into force today. Officially, it would be the Jordan Valley and a hundred Israeli settlements. However, this proposed annexation provoked many oppositions within the international community, the American administration and even the Israeli administration, where the question of “Palestinian rights” broke through in public debate. According to a poll published in early June, a majority of Israelis fear a third intifada in the event of annexation. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh warned him of a “Hot summer” if the Hebrew State went ahead with its project.
The Palestinian Authority, however, has said it is ready to start new negotiations. Annexation would have consequences across the region: Arab countries have warned that such a move would threaten the region with a “Major conflict”. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, for his part, sees it as ” historic opportunity With a benevolent Trump administration. So he has prepared to unilaterally extend Israeli law from next week to all 132 settlements and the Jordan Valley as part of Trump’s 30% West Bank allocation to Israel. Military maneuvers even took place on June 3 to prevent any attack on the annexation.
The start of the latter would cause the collapse of the peace treaty with Jordan, would drive away a growing part of the Jewish diaspora, would resonantly portray Israel as an apartheid regime imposing two sets of laws on the Israeli and Palestinian populations under its control. global in the West Bank. It would also isolate Israel diplomatically, economically and culturally. Netanyahu has declared that he will not offer citizenship to the Palestinians in the areas to be annexed, they will remain in enclaves under the general control of Israeli security. Finally, the number one enemy Iran will do everything in its power to take advantage of Israel’s growing pariah status. Its impact, beyond implanting settlers will be more devastating on Israel than it seems a priori.
